Calling all victims of bullying
By Liz Lockhart
Dragonfly Television has contacted Mental Healthy with an appeal to speak to people who have directly 
experienced bullying or parents whose children have been the victims of bullying.
Dragonfly are currently making a series of authored journeys for Channel Five called ‘My Secret Teens’, in which well known female personalities will document their teen years, and the issues or events that shaped them.
During the programme they will meet teenagers who are currently experiencing similar situations to what they experienced, and perhaps use their own experience to offer advice or support to these people.
They are making a programme with Jodie Marsh, which documents her teenage years and the bullying which she suffered at school. Jodie’s bullying firstly centred around her academic success, she was nicknames a geek by her peers and became the target of much abuse.
In her later school years she began to be bullied about her looks, after a hockey accident left her nose damaged. The torment she suffered at school has stayed with her all of her life and is still very painful for Jodie to recall, at times her experiences left her suicidal. She is keen to draw attention to the bullying that continues to exist in UK schools and try to offer some help to those who are being bullied currently.
Jodie is extremely dedicated to the project and determined to deliver a very moving and poignant account of her experiences and the experiences of others. Dragonfly is very interested in speaking to victims of bullying and parents whose children have been bullied
